COURT OF APPEAL, FOURTH APPELLATE DISTRICT

DIVISION ONE

STATE OF CALIFORNIA

In re the Marriage of RYAN PATRICK O’MALLEY and JAMIE ANN O’MALLEY D085467 RYAN PATRICK O’MALLEY,

Respondent, (Super. Ct. No. 19FL009689N) v.

JAMIE ANN O’MALLEY,

Appellant.

APPEAL from an order of the Superior Court of San Diego County, Renee Stackhouse, Judge. Affirmed. Jamie Ann O’Malley, in pro. per., for Appellant. No appearance for Respondent. INTRODUCTION Jamie Ann O’Malley appeals a postjudgment order in her marital dissolution matter. She argues the trial court erred when it ordered her to try to refinance her home within six months, request a mortgage assumption within two months of that request if refinancing is untenable, or (if neither

option was possible) seek a realtor and list the house for sale within four months after the lender declines mortgage assumption. We affirm the order. BACKGROUND Jamie and Ryan Patrick O’Malley were married in August 2006 and

separated in May 2018.1 The court entered a final judgment of dissolution in July 2020. The judgment provided Ryan would keep “all” of his “unvested military retirement,” while Jamie would keep the home “and any liability or debt attached thereto.” In August 2020, the parties refinanced the home loan as evidenced by a new deed of trust, which identifies the borrowers as “Ryan O’Malley and Jamie O’Malley, Husband and Wife, as Joint Tenants.” The deed was recorded in the official records of the San Diego County Recorder’s Office. Nearly four years later, in July 2024, the court held a hearing on Ryan’s request for order regarding “Change in Child Support” and “Release

from Home Loan.”2 The minutes from the hearing show the court’s tentative ruling was to order Jamie to refinance the home within 60 days unless it was “economically infeasible” or if she was “denied based solely on the application.” In that case, she would have two weeks “to seek mortgage assumption for the lender.” If the lender denied her request, then she would need to list the home for sale.
